The stone recording the stand of the British 27th (Inninskilling) Regiment of Foot who endured terrible losses defending this area.
It is rare for a military unit to sustain such casualties (66 per cent losses) without breaking. The 27th was also the only battalion entering combat here under the command of a captain (John Hare) who held a brevet rank of major. Sixteen of its nineteen officers became casualties and some companies fell under the command of sergeants by the end of that terrible day.
